_Posted by Rose on 2023-08-01_

Hi guys! My mom has this lemon tree that has been unhappy. It started to put out fruit but then she watered it and all of them died. She has been giving it fertilizer and it still gets yellow leaves. Any suggestions on how to get it to produce fruit? Thank you!

What kind of fertilizer?

### GardeNerd commented on 2023-08-01

Fertilizer with a high middle number (phosphorus) will promote blooms and fruiting. Use a water gauge to see how much rain it’s getting and and then use a moisture gauge to check to make sure it’s not too wet or too dry. “Goldilocks Gardening”. 😂
